FortiGate VM password reset issues

[snghoshi]

I installed the FortiGate VM and im experiencing issues when logging in for the first time. After entering the username=admin and then entering the password. The FortiGate prompt for the password to be changed. It prompts for a new password and then just after entering the password the Prompt doesn't go to Confirm Password it instead skips and prompts for a new password again. The system does not allow me to confirm the password.

Any idea?

FortiGate-VM64-KVM login: admin                                                                                         Password:
